Earlier this month, a report revealed that Google TV was adding Nest Audio support, as well as Fitbit\/Wear OS and smart home integrations. Details of a YouTube TV split screen mode and YouTube Shorts on televisions have now emerged.<\/p>\n

according to Protocol<\/em> today, Google last month told partners about a series of upcoming updates for the YouTube clients on Android and Google TV. <\/p>\n

YouTube TV, which just marked 5 million subscribers and trialers, is said to be getting a \u201cMosaic Mode\u201d that \u201cwill allow subscribers to watch up to four live feeds at the same time by dividing the TV screen into quadrants.\u201d This split screen mode will presumably also support two or three video configurations and sounds particularly ideal for watching simultaneous sporting events.<\/p>\n

No other details are available today, with \u201clive feeds\u201d hopefully referring to channels instead of Mosaic only being available for select programming (like to offer multiple views). Meanwhile, YouTube TV will presumably not aggressively crop the videos and offer just one audio stream at a time.<\/p>\n
